Defining The APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Paradigm
Alignment of Self:
The foundation of a new medicine
A New
Consciousness
It is a fact that sound energy alters our
physiological processes. Presently however, a leap in understanding is shedding
light upon all the implications. It turns out the very structure of our cells
are designed to be intimately attuned to sound. The closer look into cell
structures with new powerful forms of measurement is revealing how sound is
enmeshed within the very processes of cell function. Apart from this new emerging science we do
not see ordinarily how these energies of our outer world resonate and sound in the
body. Our knowledge of this influence of outside stimuli depends upon experience.
But what do we know of how the body is changed in that experience? We experience qualities of sensation, emotion
and thought but we cannot see how they rise from our body to produce our
general state. It would appear for all the richness of our experience we are
largely blind to how such energies change the function and structure of our
being. We would not likely notice what or how much is missing in the assemblage
of our reality - which for us always seems beyond question.
The very weight of
experience itself is a fact that precludes any question. Upon whatever it may
be based, experience itself convinces us of our hold on reality forging a deep
belief that we are consciousness – as if what we see must be the whole. Science
is however in a position to find the gaps in this whole, to complete this
picture, and to identify that which we could not even guess we are not yet
aware. Neuroscience has revealed that the states we experience ride upon the
waves of very rapid physiological processes called microstates. These brief
surges of electrical activity occur on time scales far beyond our ordinary
awareness. Many studies seem to point to the fact that we may only be fully
aware at very brief instants in time. Not being aware of this very brief
periodic window we are allegedly aware – indicates that much of our thinking
does not have to attend the full bright light of consciousness. Thought may largely
be a mechanical process driven by the spark of these moments of self awareness.
This fact in particular highlights the significant role perception has in
energizing and defining both actual and apparent moment of awareness. Because
we do not notice the gap between the active moments or actual awareness, and
when it lapses, we believe we are aware throughout. Sometimes we catch the
lapse of actual after the fact some time later. However, we would also have to
catch the prior state to realize any transition. Normally our observation does
not maintain constant this long. It would appear that we do not distinguish a
fairly significant discrepancy between when we are more conscious and when we
are less. Even if we behave and think as if we are conscious, the spark that
drives these thoughts and actions has long since vanished. Analogously electric
current is spent upon forming the word patterns in a computers word processor
program. Similarly, sparks of stimuli energy elicit corresponding associated
patterns received in prior experience. The current keeps flowing just like
impressions keep entering us. But somehow from one moment to the next our sense
of ourselves may be different. The impression somehow triggers a sense of the
whole of ourselves, which forms a container for that impression. This “doubling
of impressions” sustains our awareness. What must first be realized is that
within a span of so much ongoing change we fail to notice how it changes us,
just as we might fail to see why it is when we come to realize it. All of a
sudden we appear, and everything seems to change all around us.
If impressions trigger programs that determine
thoughts and action what does it even mean to be conscious? It is as if some
combination of these programs would appear to cancel each other out leaving
only a sense of oneself in its wake. As if reading a koan designed to bring you
beyond thought to pure observation. Impressions trigger these programs even
after the energy is lost so the program continues. If the sustaining energy
could persist, we could see beyond conditioned thought. Since it does not, this leaves only these
programs that could control anything – But what is the meaning of doing or
thinking from such initiation? How does our body respond to such conditioned
thought, and feeling? Impressions we received when not fully conscious is
precisely how these programs form in us. Because if we are honest and examine
our lives closely it appears our harmful patterns and habits are just those
programs we now seem obliged to obey. Becoming conscious is the means of
finally digesting these impressions and putting them in their place.
Part
of what we have been examining shows we have trouble clearly defining the
boundaries of our consciousness within what is called the waking state. The lack of discernment we have between when
we are fully aware and when we are only running programs from the energy of
certain moments, shows clearly our energetic dependence upon stimuli from
outside. If we could increase the energy of perception, to see ourselves at the
moment of seeing the stimuli, this additional energy would enable us to be
conscious long enough to catch the moment when we receive the impression. We
may persist to observe how it is dissipated into mechanical patterns of thought
and feeling. In this way we discern both the perception and the mechanical
result it triggers, such that we are not identified with either point in the
process. If we find a way to gain this energy, then we will also have the
altitude to see how we are not our past, since most stimuli triggers associated
memories that re-animate that past. Now when those impressions come up while we
have enough energy to observe ourselves as a whole, the stimuli patterns that
are triggered, enter into a whole body which experiences the present. Finally
it dissolves to find its place in the larger whole and with it the programs
tied to it. This frees us of the program or story associated to that
impression. The whole key is to have enough perception energy to maintain a
power of observation. This method reconciles the past and deepens our power of
whole presence to absorb impressions old and new. Digesting these past
impressions that are the basis of our programming, we are no longer a slave, we
are then free to do as we wish.
The past decades neuroscience has shown how far
the illusion of will actually goes, and how many other illusions attend the
ordinary state. Aside from the latest in science we have very little idea how
it is composed or how conscious we are or for how long. We have no barometer
for our own consciousness, even when by definition its own state should be self
evident to itself. We might say the word itself is quite misleading or empty
until a new way of experiencing can render itself self evident to its own power.
As we will see, Recent pivotal breakthroughs in cell signaling and measurement have
identified physiological conditions and markers corresponding to levels of
consciousness. As we have seen if our consciousness is not fully aware changes
the meaning of what we are actually doing. We will discuss how APOGEE Acu-Tone™
methodologically expresses a practical application of the new paradigm.
Impressions
and Conscious experience:
What
immediately comes to mind when we hear the word impressions? It is likely to be
thought of as a more archaic way of expressing perception. Though this use of
the word appears to have fallen out of favor. When describing one’s role in an
active sense we employ it more often in this way “the speaker’s presentation
made a big impression upon me.” The word nonetheless retains a more descriptive
way of describing perception. Upon
closer examination we see the two more
implicit meanings: a physical change on the one hand, and a change in the focus
or content of our awareness. At the present time we reserve the word perception
for stimuli, which now more readily expresses these qualities.
A moment’s notice shows how an impression is
related to physical imprint or change of structure. By further reflection we
can see that a pattern or code in energy was delivered. In any case we know
that in the common use of impression something noteworthy or memorable is
invariably preceded and comprised of stimuli.
Chladni Plates show this effect vividly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedgubRZva8 A metal plate with fine sand resting
on will form a distinct geometrical pattern corresponding to the frequency of
sound impinging upon it. We can see directly the core pattern or essence of
this vibration immediately revealed. For some this may conjure up notions of
platonic forms, eternal static blueprints for every dynamic manifestation of a
given eternal pattern. The most amorphous energy invisible to the eye suddenly
reveals its essence. We might wonder how does this visual pattern illuminate the
corresponding sound which has so affected us?
In a
previous installment of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Blog, we explored how the latest
science explains the transformation experienced with APOGEE Acu-Tone™. In that
summary we learned that Microtubules, components of the cytoskeleton are
ideally suited for resonating sound. As if perfectly manufactured tuning forks
of the cell, a novel expansive way to explain a mode of reception on the micro-level
has opened up. We can begin to see how physiological processes of the cell,
like the pattern in the sand, are in some sense also being transformed by the
stimuli of experience. Perhaps the most essential meaning that stands out in
the word impression is this notion of transformation. We say we are moved by
music but we seldom realize how sound literally inscribes itself upon our
being. How does the sound of outside become the sound of our conscious
experience? How does any stimuli at all become the sound guiding the activity
of our cells?
Solitons
& Microtubules: Micro-Organs of sound and electricity.
The Soliton model in neuroscience is a recently
developed model that attempts to explain how signals are conducted within
neurons. It proposes that the signals travel along the cell's membrane in the
form of certain kinds of sound (or density) pulses known as solitons. As such
the model presents a direct challenge to the widely accepted Hodgkin–Huxley
model which proposes that signals travel as action potentials: voltage-gated
ion channels in the membrane open and allow ions to rush into the cell, thereby
leading to the opening of other nearby ion channels and thus propagating the
signal in an essentially electrical manner.
It is undeniable that an electrical signal can be
observed when an action potential propagates along a neuron. The Soliton model
explains this as follows: the traveling soliton locally changes density and
thickness of the membrane, and since the membrane contains many charged and
polar substances, this will result in an electrical effect, akin to piezoelectricity.
What this means is once we perceive, stimuli has
been transduced into electrical signals free to travel along nerves.
Immediately expressed in the form of sound waves, the information of the signal
now takes upon a new meaning at a critical level of cell operation. As the
signal from outside becomes a nerve signal, and this signal as we have learned
is really accompanied by a complex orchestra of sound pulses, it becomes
obvious to see why this mode of transmission has radical import on all cell
functions, cell commands, and cell behavior. This is due to the fact that
Cyto-skeletal elements interact extensively and intimately with cellular
membranes. Soliton Sound pulses in the lipid membrane of cells propagate
directly into the cytoskeleton body to alter the cells electrical, structural,
metabolic state. We might say it determines the informational state of the cell
itself, in that such a signaling method has the power to elicit and activate
critical information from nuclear DNA. The capacity of the cell to maintain
itself depends on communication from nuclear DNA using a very minute percentage
of available material. This suggests a new and direct availability to the
potentials for regenerative healing and conscious states alike. We need only
perform a kind of "Chladni evalution of the informational patterns within
sound beforehand, so as to engineer a far greater deliberate effect upon the
cell.
"A Soliton is a density wave that neither
changes shape or velocity as it travels, therefore it loses no energy or
information."
In previous Blog:
http://apogeelearning.blogspot.com/2012/04/finding-spirit-in-fabric-of-space-and.html
We learn that Solitons are a special kind of sound pulse which does not lose
energy or information in its transmission. In that installment we are reminded
of Stuart Hameroff's lesson about the perfect efficiency Microtubules have for
conveying signals, Presently we learn of how the cell Membrane and Cytoskeleton
are intimately tied together, along with the nucleus by way of the
cytoskeleton. The Nucleus is responsive directly to the signals it receives
from the cytoskeleton. Mitosis, cell maintenance, cell structure and mode of
metabolism all depend on the data of soliton signals.
Science
is defining its most pivotal paradigm shift by discovering how cell activity
upholds total body health and conscious state. This new paradigm has equal
grasp of both. Such principles have empowered science to use stimuli in a
deliberate manner for as a surgical information healing tool. We are now in a
position to radically alter physiological and conscious levels. The ideal data
transmitting properties of solitons and Microtubules both clearly emphasize how
important it is to preserve a perfect signal impervious to all ambient noise.
The significance of what we perceive with our senses always matters a great
deal. And now it is apparent the significance cannot be overstated. A conscious design informed by understanding
these principles of sound transmission in the body, places us in a position to
choose balance, addressing the cellular level of function composing our total
state of being.
On the level of experience whether we hear a
sublime piece of music, or we experience a transition into a much more present,
more aware state when engaging the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ process, we are now in a position
to realize why such consciously arranged stimuli more than move us, they
literally transform.
Now in a
better position to understand how APOGEE Acu-Tone™ may be regarded as a set of
conditions where the body can hear itself and the outside stimuli as one. The reason the body chooses sound as its most
fundamental means of transferring information is of enormous importance to both
our sense of well being and health alike. Furthermore resonant mechanisms of
the cell structures play a role in maintaining the vital information encoded.
The fact that such structures appear throughout the cell shows how vitally
important information contained in stimuli is to cell function at a fundamental
level. This does not mean there are not ways for things to go wrong. When the
whole state required for a full active presence is not integrated, a simple
impression can actually wreak great havoc. We can see that as Ayurvedic Medicine
has testified for millennia, disease really is a poverty of information. This
also resonates with the Buddha’s, “Ignorance is the cause of suffering.” In any
case when the flow of information is cut, or information itself imparts such a
break in the flow, there is a corresponding break in intelligence and energy. A
disharmonious impression is invariably the cause of general disharmony because
it arrived at a moment the body was not integrated sufficiently to digest it.
Put simply the whole was not yet established. The result can be a kind of cascading error
where some part of the whole takes up only a part of the information it needs
as if it where a whole, dictating its new behavior. Then this process begins to
function in its own way out of harmony with the other parts that have not
received this message or have received it differently in their own way. Even
each organ is an intelligence or mind, such that what the head says is taken
differently when we are not present. Alienation is the cause of disease. It
follows that restoring what the body already knows to all its parts, brings the
whole into being so each part knows and follows the same whole. This whole is the
throne of self, the intelligence that flows the ultimate medicine. The state of
the body while receiving an impression is vital in determining whether we will
grow from its nutrition or acquire another engram.
It is
clear that runaway mitosis serves no function to the whole body. It begins as
alienation in which it grows in the lack of information. Let there be light,
and the way is restored. This also highlights how certain information in the
form of our experiences may have initiated such conditions which block further
cell communication. A division further divides. A cascading result defines a
system of imbalances for which the self does not correspond. Such a pattern in the cells can be identified
by a reversed polarity around its cells. This informational enveloping is what
leads to cell narcissism, refusing to hear and imposing its own disharmonious
activity. Restoring health means restoring information, finding a way to open
the door.
This conclusion alone already counts as a great
and new revelation to conventional science. This list of implications offered
by the new scientific understanding is of significant import to medicine,
physical health and states of consciousness alike, to decisively create and
evaluate any stimuli engineering cell function. For the first time a scientific
paradigm can see directly what sounds adversely and constructively impact the
life of all cells. We might say that our usual conscious state has up until now
been merely a very abbreviated representation of all the cells in their
harmonies and cacophonies. When a patient is under anesthetic during surgery,
his consciousness is in effect switched off because without exception any
molecule that lowers the melting point of the lipid membrane (gelling temperature)
will not conduct solitons carrying the nerve signal. At the same time we can corroborate
this fact with global bio markers such as EEG in the CNS. Anesthetic molecules
dissolves in the membrane to dampen this form of sound in the body correspondingly
prevents any degree of self awareness. Now let us imagine what happens to our
cells when the stimuli is so well crafted our soul soars with emotional
revelation, and the mind’s eye glimpses something of the eternal? How does the
pattern of this composition raise our consciousness by affecting our cells?
The
Principle of Anesthetics finally Unmasked:
The team at Copenhagen and other European groups
had finally revealed the true mechanisms by which anesthetic compounds work. They
invariably all change the melting point of the lipid membrane turning off the
medium for Soliton sound pulses. Simultaneously the EEG corroborates the state
of consciousness by showing a corresponding drop in the higher frequencies
which apparently depend upon the connectivity of circuits throughout the body.
Conversely this also means that by using the Soliton theory of nerve signal
propagation, we can identify conditions (other than anesthetizing molecules)
which also alter the membrane in a manner that will change conduction of sound
in cells. Let us not forget that the pattern of the soliton itself is the key
factor of not only altering the membrane, but altering how it conducts for
subsequent signals of like kind. The
exciting conclusion is we are now free to use these principles to liberate a
more comprehensive consciousness and a corresponding higher physiological
capability to levels of a higher order. We may in particular see why APOGEE
Acu-Tone™ is able to engender such a profound state of order, corresponding to
a feeling of presence and self and clearing up a host of symptoms related to
imbalance. It is not an overstatement to say that by such demonstrative methods
we can solve outstanding philosophical challenges of great import as it seems
now experimentally possible to finally clarify what presence and higher states
of consciousness are in objective and scientific terms.
It is not just that our cell structures are
designed to be attuned to sound, it is also the fact that information from
stimuli have a way of reaching the cell to potentially fundamentally alter its
operation and structure. The consciously articulated patterns found in
specially engineered APOGEE Acu-Tone™ makes clear how these patterns are able
to reach the fundamental processes of our being, by such flawless transmission.
The attuned mechanisms within the cell are perfectly matched with the APOGEE
Acu-Tone™ Paradigm which has long ago grasped the principles what only the most
recent advances in cell research has finally caught up.
Coming
Home to Oneself:
APOGEE Acu-Tone™ seems to exploit several
principles of the new science in a both farsighted and simple way: Pure and
direct sound transmission to key points in the body using a resonant register
to connect local sound patterns. Each site may be regarded as a collective of
cell activity to compose a "Chladni register. This can then be superimposed
to other key sites on the total body. Sound is then used to literally reconnect
various centers of intelligence which where not as connected previously. This
takes advantage of the fact that body is designed as a medium, such that all
its parts can know the whole. The cell is simply a unit of that whole. It harbors
such ideal tuning fork mechanisms within many of its key structures to carry
this out. We can now re-construct the whole from its parts, by connecting key
points to restore vital information, vitality itself. In effect a kind of acoustical
feedback is then employed to create a growing picture of the whole. The total sound
body is constructed step by step by the sequence of specially chosen sites
where APOGEE Acu-Tone™ sounds/vibrations are applied. By observing this method
we may understand how sound composes a macroscopic pattern of all cell
assemblies as they are brought into connection through the APOGEE Acu-Tone™
process.
We
see that in sounding, there is also a resounding. Full communication, both
transmission and reception, flow between tuning fork and a tuning body. As a
new connection is made, a new resonance constructs the ONE Sound of the entire
body. A One verse, A UNI-Verse is the Throne of "I AM". Our new
consciousness is simply coming home to the Self that always is. In aligning
with the body, consciousness has an integrity
sustained by the direct impression of One-self.
APOGEE Acu-Tone™ is a decisively
visionary somatic attunement method based on sound. Uniquely deciphering and
connecting vital signaling processes in the body, APOGEE Acu-Tone™ reaches an
unprecedented grasp over higher regulatory functions unlocking regenerative
capabilities. Our consultation was employed to analyze and counsel proper
strategy for incorporation of this method.
